[0035] Before discussing the exemplary embodiments in more detail, it should be mentioned that some exemplary embodiments are described as processes or methods depicted as flow charts. Although the flow charts describe the operations (or steps) as sequential processes, many of the operations (or steps) therein can be performed in parallel, concurrently, or simultaneously. In addition, the order of the operations can be rearranged. The process can be terminated when its operations are completed, but can also have additional steps not included in the figures; the process can correspond to a method, function, procedure, subroutine, subprogram, etc.

[0036] Example: Figure 1 As shown, a method for quickly identifying phase-to-phase short circuits based on wavelet packet transform includes the following steps: S1, obtaining attribute information of a line fault point.

[0037] Specifically, the attribute information includes connection topology information of the line fault point, and the connection topology information includes a first relay protection device and a second relay protection device respectively provided at protection installation locations at both ends of the fault point.

[0038] S2. Acquire phase current information at protection installations at both ends of the fault point, and perform phase-mode conversion to obtain mode current information.

[0039] Phase-mode transformation obtains mode current information, and the formula is as follows:

[0040]

[0041] in, is the modulus current of the first relay protection device; is the modulus current of the first relay protection device; is the phase a mode current at the first relay protection device end; is the b-phase mode current at the first relay protection device end; is the phase C mode current at the first relay protection device end; is the phase-a mode current at the second relay protection device end; is the b-phase mode current at the second relay protection device end; is the C-phase mode current at the second relay protection device end.

[0042] S3. Calculate the differential current using the analog current information.

[0043] The differential current calculation formula is as follows:

[0044]

[0045] in, is the differential current.

[0046] S4. Decompose and reconstruct the differential current using db4 wavelet to obtain several high-frequency bands and one low-frequency band.

[0047] Specifically, the db4 wavelet is used to perform 7-layer wavelet packet decomposition and reconstruction on the differential current, and the differential current waveform is decomposed into 7 high-frequency bands and 1 low-frequency band.

[0048] Furthermore, the seven high-frequency bands include d1: 50-100kHz; d2: 25-50kHz; d3: 12.5-25kHz; d4: 6.25-12.5kHz; d5: 3.125-6.25kHz; d6: 1.5625-3.125kHz; d7: 781.25-1562.5Hz; and one low-frequency band is a7: 0-781.25Hz.

[0049] S5. Calculate the high-frequency energy ratio of the high-frequency band and the low-frequency energy ratio of the low-frequency band in each data window and draw an energy ratio curve.

[0050] Specifically, the accumulated energy value of seven high-frequency bands is used as the high-frequency energy; the energy of one low-frequency band is used as the low-frequency energy;

[0051] The sum of the energy accumulation value and the low-frequency energy is taken as the total frequency energy in the data window.

[0052] S6. Determine the fault type according to the magnitude and duration of the energy proportion.

[0053] Specifically, when the amplitude of the high-frequency energy ratio or the amplitude of the low-frequency energy ratio is 0.2 and less than 0.7, and drops below 0.2 within time t, it is determined to be an internal fault;

[0054] If the amplitude of the high-frequency energy ratio or the amplitude of the low-frequency energy ratio is greater than 0.7 and the duration is greater than t, it is determined to be an out-of-zone fault.

[0055] In order to enable those skilled in the art to have a more complete understanding and grasp of the technical concept of this application, this application lists the following specific embodiments to further illustrate the scheme. The specific examples serve to further illustrate this application and cannot be used to limit the specific implementation scope of the invention.

[0056] like Figure 2 As shown in the figure, assuming that a non-single-phase grounding short circuit fault occurs at a certain line f1 in the system, the phase mode transformation of the three-phase current at the protection M and N is performed to obtain the differential current. The differential current is reconstructed after a 7-layer wavelet packet decomposition using the db4 wavelet. The original differential current waveform can be decomposed into 7 high-frequency bands d1 to d7 and 1 low-frequency band a7.

[0057] To minimize the transmission impact of the line and highlight the role of the line boundary, the observation frequency band is selected to be below 100 kHz, so the sampling frequency is selected to be 200 kHz. Therefore, the resulting eight frequency bands, from high to low, are 50-100 kHz, 25-50 kHz, 12.5-25 kHz, 6.25-12.5 kHz, 3.125-6.25 kHz, 1.5625-3.125 kHz, 781.25-1562.5 Hz, and 0-781.25 Hz. Band a7 (0-781.25 Hz) is defined as the low-frequency band, and bands d1 to d7 are defined as the high-frequency bands.

[0058] The sampling point data of each frequency band is squared to calculate the energy value of each frequency band.

[0059] For a sampling frequency of 200 kHz, there is a sampling point every 5 μs. The length of the data window is set to be 200 sampling points, that is, 1 ms. For each frequency band, the total energy in the data window is calculated.

[0060] Calculate the ratio of the high- and low-frequency waveform energies within each data window: the energy in band a7 is the low-frequency energy, and the sum of the energies in bands d1 through d7 is the high-frequency energy. Obviously, the sum of the high- and low-frequency energy is the total energy, and a ratio can be calculated for each data window.

[0061] The data window is kept sliding at a length of 1ms, and the energy proportions of the high-frequency and low-frequency bands are plotted.

[0062] Since there is only a 50Hz power frequency component and no high-frequency component during normal operation, when the line is operating normally, the energy proportion curve of the high-frequency band is zero.

[0063] When a phase-to-phase short circuit occurs within the zone, the high-frequency component rapidly generates and decays, resulting in a narrow "spike" in the high-frequency energy waveform. Because the 50Hz differential current component is high during a zone fault and rapidly increases after the fault, the height of the high-frequency spike is approximately 0.5.

[0064] When a phase-to-phase short circuit fault occurs outside the zone, since the differential current content of the 50Hz component is very small, only the high-frequency component is generated rapidly when the fault just occurs, so a wider "peak" will be generated, and its amplitude can reach close to 1.

[0065] Calculate the proportion of high-frequency waveform energy within a 1ms data window and plot a high-frequency energy proportion curve. Under normal circumstances, the curve amplitude is 0. When the amplitude of the high-frequency energy proportion curve is greater than 0.2, a fault has occurred. If the amplitude of the high-frequency energy proportion curve is greater than 0.2 and less than 0.7, and the amplitude of the high-frequency energy proportion curve drops below 0.2 within 2.5ms, it is determined to be an in-zone fault. If the amplitude of the high-frequency energy proportion curve is greater than 0.7 and the duration is greater than 2.5ms, it is determined to be an out-of-zone fault. Similarly, the analysis of the low-frequency energy proportion curve is the same as that of the high-frequency energy proportion curve and is not repeated here.

[0066] The specific implementation described above is a preferred implementation of the method for rapid identification of phase short circuits based on wavelet packet transform of the present invention, and is not intended to limit the specific implementation scope of the present invention. The scope of the present invention includes but is not limited to this specific implementation. All equivalent changes made in accordance with the shape and structure of the present invention are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
